Well, let's see. Water at room temperature has a heat capacity of 4.18 J/g-C, and water also has a density of 1g/mL. If there's one litre of water, there's 1000 g of water. If the change in temperature is 1 C, and there are 1000 g of water, and specific heat capacity's 4.18...

Q = mcT

Q = (1000g)(4.18J/g-C)(1 C)

Q = 4180 J

So you need 4180 J of heat.

***************************************

The definition of one calorie is as stated in the question. One calorie is equivalent to 4.18 Joules.

Not sure where the maths went wrong but just so you know.

What does the word kelvins mean when talking of temperature?

Kelvin is a temperature scale, like Fahrenheit or Centigrade. It is generally used in scientific contexts. One degree Kelvin is equal to one degree Centigrade. In order to find the temperature in Kelvin, I have provided the following equations. If you have a temperature in Fahrenheit and want to know it in Kelvin, it is easiest to convert to Centigrade first. (Fahrenheit Temperature - 32) X (5/9) = (Centigrade Temperature) If you have a Centigrade temperature and want to know it in Kelvin, you can convert it directly to Kelvin. (Centigrade Temperature + 273) = (Kelvin Temperature) The reason for the 273 is that scientists wanted the Kelvin scale to begin at Absolute Zero. Thus, Absolute Zero is 0 K and -273 degrees Centigrade. Since, as I stated above, one degree Centigrade is equal to one degree Kelvin, this equation works. If you want to convert back from Kelvin, the following equations may be used. (Kelvin Temperature -273) = (Centigrade Temperature) And if you're asked to report the temperature in Fahrenheit, use (Centigrade Temperature X (9/5)) +32 = (Fahrenheit Temperature) It should be noted that you do not include a degree symbol when you report a Kelvin temperature.
